• The City shall have the right to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any future complaints regarding noise levels occur. Such conditions could include reducing the number of people allowed in the building at any one time, modifying the hours of operation, and requiring additional soundproofing of the subject building. With the inclusion of the recommended conditions above, staff has determined it is unlikely the noise produced by the proposed use would adversely affect adjacent tenant spaces or be in excess of 75 dBA at any point outside of the property plane as prescribed by the Municipal Code. Therefore, staff does not believe the proposed use would be disruptive to existing or future neighboring businesses/tenants or residences to the west. As stated above, the applicant's existing music school has been operating for the past five years within the adjacent condominium with no issues reported to the City. Signage No signage is proposed at this time. If the applicant elects to add signage, the proposed signage would be required to adhere to Valley Business Park sign guidelines and the Municipal Code. Any deviations would require a separate Design Review application to be submitted to the City for consideration. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the proposed use, as conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from expanding the existing music school; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with modified hours of operation and/or other changes to the proposal. Staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing on-site uses or the surrounding area; thus, staff suggests neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the subject parcel and published in the newspaper. At the time this report was published, staff has not received any public comments. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This project is categorically exempt (Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities) from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Additionally, should the proposed use exceed noise standards established by the General Plan or the City receives noise complaints, the applicant would install soundproofing/sound insulation within the common walls shared with the adjacent condominiums. To further minimize any noise impacts, staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: • All doors shall remain closed at all times during activities and/or business hours. • The applicant shall inform their students and parents/guardians to not loiter outside of the building and to be courteous and quiet when entering or leaving the parking area.
